Bean loaf............... Hi Chanda

[Guest guest]

When you get the consistency correct I'm waiting for the recipe (:-))))) I have

a bean loaf recipe I just found in an old cookbook where I had written it down

and I will send it in. Hopefully later today. You make with a can of refried

beans and it's great. Now I'm off to make chai cookies with the new mix I

found....D

before yesterday from canned red beans. Next time I am going to add some rice

for maybe a less mushier consistency. I cut liquids to a minimum for this but

it's just the beans are mushy so the consistency is going to be mushy no matter

what. I think next time I am going to do beans, rice, and maybe chopped

mushrooms too. )

Blessings,

Chanda

i just added the lentils to a pan of broth and

water and brought them to a boil. Then i turned

the heat down to a simmer, covered the pan, and

cooked them until they were tender.

 

Most cookbooks where they list bean cooking

times suggest that red lentils only need about 20

minutes to cook and brown lentils about twice that

[40 to 60 minutes]. However, i always find they

need more than that to have the texture i prefer.

i didn't time how long i cooked them in this recipe

prior to adding them to the loaf mixture, but i know

it was a bit over a half hour. Hope this helps.

I am not bean literate but I want to be. I like them.
